A man stands by a micro with disc drives and printer, running a home computer accounts package. He holds a yard or so of printout and says to his wife, “Or in other words, we've spent a small fortune just to tell us we're broke.” Microholics is a collection of cartoons, some sexist, most unfunny, by Richard Howell who, according to the blurb, possesses an ‘acute eye'. There's no hint of it here nor sign of the artistic talent. Strangely, Mr Howell's ‘jaundiced look' fails to see as far as opportunistic publishing like this, aimed fairly and squarely at the Christmas gifts market. The theory is that the non-computerate half of the population will buy it for their micro-obsessed friends in the belief that they will find it funny. I'm going to make sure my aged aunt knows not to, well in advance. John Minson, PCW
